ARIES (March 21-April 19): A quest for excitement and glamour leads you by the nose. Early in the week, you might think you're right when you're actually wrong, so wait until late this week to make crucial decisions and changes.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): For a predictable outcome, wait until conditions are more predictable. People might not respond favorably to requests for assistance. You might not be satisfied with results if you make changes early in the week.

GEMINI (May 21-June 20): Pursue the most enjoyable things before you knuckle down to the mundane. You may be attracted to the exotic and unusual in the week ahead, but don't be sidetracked from following through on important obligations.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): Play it footloose and fancy free. Experience the thrill of meeting new people in the week ahead who fascinate you, but keep in mind that they might not remain in your life very long. Be prepared for a few surprises.

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): Concentrate on being a community-minded citizen. Your home or neighborhood could be the center for social functions or activity this week. Lend a helping hand to a new acquaintance or do some social networking.

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): An impulsive purchase could foster a repulsive result. It's possible that you think something is worth more than you pay early this week. This may be a good week to write down your ideas or make a presentation.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22): Political expediency isn't always polite. You may prefer to employ diplomacy even when others hit below the belt. In the week ahead, you may need to adjust your responses to deal with some uncomfortable truths.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov. 21): In the week ahead, enjoy the fruits of your labor. Fight the urge to be a moody loner and hook up with a warm and ardent companion. Don't be concerned if you don't see immediate results.

SAGITTARIUS (Nov. 22-Dec. 21): Sometimes the best thing you can do is not think or obsess about problems, but to simply have faith. Avoid making major purchases in the first part of the week and don't dispose of outworn possessions.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19): When other people throw you to the wolves, it may give you the opportunity to return leading the pack. The early part of the week offers challenges, but if you don't give up or overreact you'll gain the upper hand.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18): Don't trade one problem for another. You may end up over your head if you change horses midstream. Avoid becoming involved in petty spats or romantic misunderstandings during the first half of the week.

PISCES (Feb. 19-March 20): A significant other could offer a sense of purpose and push you in the right direction this week. Listen to sound advice from experts if your piggy bank is concerned. Play hard, but remember to work just as diligently.

IF APRIL 27 IS YOUR BIRTHDAY: You have a good grasp of how the wheels of commerce turn and will make a good showing between now and the end of May with any job, career or business pursuit. Do your best to build helpful connections with others who'll keep you in mind when the rewards are passed out. You could make a fateful decision in August or early September, so watch your p's and q's. If you wait until after the first of the year to launch a new business idea, make key decisions or put ideas into motion, you could achieve lasting success.
